Follow the life of a retired teacher working her way through the bucket list. How much can be achieved in the next 10 years - from the mundane (baking an edible cake) to the ridiculous (kayaking through the rain forest).

Bucket List

Welcome to my blog

This is it! I've given up work -retired from the rat race and am about to start on a 10 year adventure, doing all those things I've been meaning to do but never had the time to do them. I've offloaded my responsibilities and it is now my time. So follow my adventures and see whether I actually manage anything!

Abbey Road

If you have been a fan of The Beatles you will have heard of the Abbey Road studios. You may also remember the cover of their album Abbey Road. Well a few days ago I happened to be on Abbey Road walking past the studios.

The graffiti on the walls made for some interesting reading. The studios invite people to write on them and not anywhere else to avoid annoying the neighbours.

Approaching the studios I could see numerous people at the zebra crossing, trying to replicate The Beatles crossing but the car drivers were not too happy having to stop so often to allow people to cross the road.

This group almost got it right but I am on the wrong side of the crossing.

It was from this side that I should have been taking the photos. I waited and waited but I got fed up in the end waiting for four people to get in the right position. I assume The Beatles had the road closed for a short time whilst they did their photo shoot.

Even if you are not a fan of The Beatles, it is hard to not know about the Abbey Road crossing. I once heard that this is not the original crossing but I never sought out details. People who are delayed when driving along Abbey Road only have their own stupidity to blame. Go another way folks.

I have never been to Abbey Road, but I followed all Beatles traces in Liverpool ! Took a whole day, we even went to the Cavern Club where they first performed. My friend stayed and danced, for me it was too loud and I waited outside, lol !

Dearest Fun60; Oh, reminiscent to see the first 2 photos :-) And remembered learning the meaning of "let it be" when young and surprised, haha. Thank you very much for sharing this post, love to see these pictures♬♬♬
